Final Lineup

This is my final lineup design with all the final modifications and detail changes. I also added int he hats, looking back through all my design to find which ones looked the best with certain outfifts. For most the garments i drew them with the jackets open for a better view of the garments underneath as there is also alot of design and thought process that has gone into designing what would be worn underneath the outfits.

Final Lineup development

From my lineup ideas i chose 10 looks that i thought worked well together each look consists of a jacket and either a dress or top and pants/skirt to go underneath. I decided to select a range of outfits, so i have a few skirts, pants and a couple of dresses. I then looked over all the outfits as a whole and decided on the changes i could make or needed to make so that the garments look better as a collection, most changes included making garments hem length longer or adding/removing pieces of the garment.

From that developmental stage i redrew that garments to see what they would look like with the changes applied to see if my ideas worked how i wanted them to. I was from then, i only had to make a few minor adjustments to some of the garments i.e, cuff change, moving one garment piece to another outfit and changing the garment length. I also came across the problem with the fact that a lot of my outfits, you couldn't see the garments underneath, so i decided that for my final lineup i'd draw the outfits with the jackets open.

Chosen final lineup

From the lineup developmental ideas i chose a selection of 10 outfits that i thought worked well together.

Final lineup ideas

From my design development i cut out all the garments and began piecing them together and then taking a photo to see what outfits worked and what didn't, i decided to do this instead of drawing them as it was a quicker process and aloud me to explore more options in a shorter space or time. from this process i came up with 17 complete outfits that i could chose from for my final lineup.

                               

                                                                                              

                                                

Color Palette Development

As i was experimenting with color on my final lineup i decided to eliminate the green, although it went well with the blue, purple and cream colors i felt it kind of made the colors a little unbalanced. Just having these five colors makes the selection more cohesive.

Design Development

I looked through my designs so far and sorted out what garments i had and how many from each category, i found i had a variety of pants but i needed more tops especially (because id been focusing on  the outerwear garments and not on the undergarments) and jackets, i also introduced more skirts. As i was designing, a few things i kept in mind to include from my last collection was; frills, big shoulders, design lines, darts/pleats these features were all inspired by the design and architectural aspects of the church as well as the style of wedding dress worn by my nana at her wedding. 

As part of the 60's theme and with inspiration from the hat/veil my nana wore on her wedding day i chose to design a series of hat that i could use with my garments. The style i went for were along the lines of 1920's flapper hats. I felt that my garments worked better with the hats as they made the outfit look more complete. 

Fabric

I chose a selection of fabric to use as inspiration for my lineup final. I decided to have a selection of lace, wool and vinyl very different fabrics but all that work well together. Alongside these fabrics ill have softer, lighter fabrics that would be used for he shirts such as silks blends and cotton blends. 

These two lace fabrics would work well on the blouses or the bows as the have a soft and delicate appearencce and feel.

I chose these four fabrics to use on the jackets because of the wool content, which makes for a warm garment. They are also heavier than the lace so would be more appropriate as jackets rather than tops.

This vinyl fabric is very soft and flexible yet it has a degree of strength to it which would work well for an added feature on a jacket.
